Looking to build momentum off two straight road victories, the Hilltoppers return home to host Louisiana-Lafayette on Saturday in the 2011 Homecoming Game. WKU broke a 26-game losing streak with a 54-21 win over ULL last year in Lafayette.

ULM heads up this week's Sun Belt Conference recap by upsetting Troy at Blakeney field. This is the second conference loss for Troy, making it hard for the Trojans to repeat as Sun Belt Champion, a position they have held or shared for five years straight.

Last year for UL's 65th annual Homecoming game, WKU upended the Cajuns 54-21. The Hilltoppers built a 27-7 halftime lead, then after Brad McGuire scored on a 1-yard run on UL’s first possession of the second half, WKU scored 27 unanswered points to put the game out of reach.

Brett Baer's 26-yard field goal as time expired lifted Louisiana to its first 4-1 start since 1988 as the Ragin' Cajuns fended off a late Florida Atlantic rally posting a 37-34 victory at Cajun Field. The Cajuns turned the ball over twice and lost over 100 yards on 10 penalties, many of them at critical points in the game.

Blaine Gautier threw for three touchdowns and had 307 total yards of offense as the Ragin’ Cajuns football team upset the Sun Belt Conference preseason favorite FIU Golden Panthers at FIU Stadium in Miami, Fla. on Saturday night, 36-31.

Louisiana delivered head coach Mark Hudspeth a victory in his Cajun Field debut Saturday evening as the Ragin' Cajuns downed Nicholls State 38-21 in front of 28,741. The attendance, the eighth largest in Cajun Field history, witnessed Louisiana improve to 2-1 through three games for only the third time since 1990.
